Does this make a good bread using only this flour? Or do you suggest using another flour with it? Does it taste better than regular red wheat?

I have used this flour in my sponge bread recipe and it turns out very good. A bit heavy but love the taste and texture. You could substitute part white bread flour to make it a bit lighter. I really like this flour.

Using only this flour I've been able to make a good, hearty loaf without being too dense, dry, or "cardboardy," given sufficient kneading. It seems to have a high enough protein content. On occasion I'll include about 20 percent AP flour for something lighter. This has been, hands down, my favorite bread flour for nutrition, taste/texture, and value.

I use this flour in my bread machine and the bread always turns out great. I never used red wheat so I can't compare them both, sorry.

I like the taste and texture better than red whole wheat flour. It will make a good bread alone, but I prefer to mix it about half and half with a white bread or all purpose flour to get a lighter texture. I use a honey-wheat recipe and substitute the seven grain for whole wheat.

I also use a white bread four with the 7 grain. I love the little piece of whole grain in this flour which gives an extra texture to the bread. It's the favorite bread a my B&B;

I have and the result was not very good... it makes great cookies, bars, banana bread. Atkins makes a good flour baking mix and works better but not the best

BobInNova has already answered this, but I just wanted to add that I think the Hodgson Mill "Honey Whole Wheat" is a much better tasting bread mix. It is made with Stone Ground Whole Grain Hard Spring Wheat Flour and uses Dried Honey instead of Brown Sugar and Molasses which the 9 Grain uses.

Yes you can use this but it is whole wheat so it isn't going to taste exactly the same. I normally make bread with it and have made pancakes with it and they both came out great.

I have a WonderMill grain mill and fresh mill Kamut brand wheat as well as a Hard White Spring wheat called "Prairie Gold" Both are marvelous grains for whole wheat flour. I make 100% all the time and works great. PERIOD!! I add 1 Tbs of vital wheat gluten just to make sure, as well as 1/8 tsp of Ascorbic acid (a yeast conditioner). I also use ingredients for Large loafs but set the setting for sandwich and works fine.

The trick to using spelt is not to knead it much at all. The grain is not as heavy or dark as whole wheat, and the flavor is much more of a sweet nutty taste. As far as the texture, no, I didn't think the bread I've made using spelt was heavy or dark like whole wheat. But the gluten is far weaker than wheat gluten. So, research on line for articles on cooking with this flour, and how to adapt to using it. and I think you'll enjoy!

The only kind of bread we have made in it is a gluten-free mix from Pamela's Products. We followed the instructions exactly(temperature, order of adding ingredients, don't let yeast touch wet ingredients) and had perfect bread every time. I'm not sure why yours isn't turning out well.

Angel: New Breadman Ultimate Plus:Purchased new machine on Amazon, baked with reg flour and came out great, twice tried Red Mill gluten free bread mix following the instuctions exactly but both came out larger than 1/1/2 lb and raw in the center of the loaf. Anyone have any suggestions?

HI-- My bread came out like a normal loaf-- I did use regular eggs-- and I used whole eggs. I also added a 1/4 cup sugar away from the yeast. My Machine guidelines say to start with all wet ingredients on the bottom of the pan (make sure your water is warm enough) then add the dry ingredients with the yeast on the top on one side of the pan and I put the cup additional sugar on the other. I chose the darker crust option. My bread came out pretty good.

I use this flour as bread flour. It has a higher protein content than all purpose flour and produced a wonderful texture in my breads. You do not need to add wheat gluten.

I make bread with it, I make an Ezekiel bread, so I add a bit more Vital gluten d/t all the beans, or glutenless stuff. I does make a nice bread, and I will use this again!

I have had much success using this flour for baking bread, I use a traditional recipe and oven bake my bread. I do not use a bread machine.

This is the best bread mix we have tried. WE make it a bread maker and tastes better than gluten bread. Enjoy.

Every rye flour I have purchased, even other brands has a coarser texture than regular AP or Bread flour. But it does make wonderful bread!

WE haven't made biscuits with this flour yet. we use it as a wheat flour replacer. We have made several cakes and the turn out really good. a little dense, but the taste is good.
